Looking Closer: Kevin Spacey, the First 50 Years
Kevin Spacey is considered one of the most talented thespians of his generation. Voted "Greatest Actor of the Nineties" by Empire Magazine, placed third in a 2001 FilmFour poll of the hundred greatest-ever movie stars, he is a double Oscar winner and has been equally successful on the stage, being appointed Artistic Director of London's Old Vic Theatre in 2003. Yet like his most famous screen character, Keyser Söze, he has remained a shadowy and mysterious figure, notoriously protective of his private relationships and giving few intimate interviews. Looking Closer, the first published biography of Spacey, explores the background and career of this enigmatic man. This revised edition includes several rare and previously unseen photographs from Kevin’s family archives.
Problem-Based Learning
In this book, the authors address some basic problems in the learning of biomedical science, medicine, and the other health sciences. Students in most medical schools, especially in basic science courses, are required to memorize a large number of "facts," facts which may or may not be relevant to medical practice. Problem-based learning has two fundamental postulates--the learning through problem-solving is much more effective for creating a body of knowledge usable in the future, and that physician skills most important for patients are problem-solving skills, rather than memory skills. This book presents the scientific basis of problem-based learning and goes on to describe the approaches to problem-based medical learning that have been developed over the years at McMaster University, largely by Barrows and Tamblyn.
Coupling
'I am about to make my first kill of the day. Correction: the first kill I notice." Eddie. Nick. Nigel. David. Russell. Frederick. Ste. Michael. Emile. Jack. Jamie. Brandon. By turns poignant, funny and tragic, coupling follows the sexual paths of twelve very different gay men-a young runaway, a closeted father, an obese porn star, a dying pensioner, a Hollywood actor-as, through each other, they search for excitement, friendship, lust, and love. 'I will sit up all night in this secret place he calls home. Just to watch him sleep." 'Robin Tamblyn, author of La-La Land exposé King of Hollywood and the adrenaline-packed Velocity, has come full circle with coupling, a collection of twelve short, erotic stories. Infused with Tamblyn's signature youthful energy and spot-on dialogue, each story sizzles with lively humor, camp drama and sexual tension so thick, you'll need to sharpen your Ginsu knives to cut through it." -Michael D. Craig, author of The Ice Sculptures: A Novel of Hollywood Robin Tamblyn lives in Exeter, England, and has also published two novels with iUniverse. Contact the author at robintamblyn@yahoo.co.uk.
Building Knowledge in Architecture
"Foqué establishes a general design theory based on the axioms of pragmatic thinking, a crucial unity between experience and the process of learning, and between conceptual thought and situational consciousness. Building Knowledge develops a theoretical framework and practical instrumentation to establish a knowledge base for the discipline of architecture. Part one of the book presents design methods as a third way of investigating reality apart from scientific methods or the conception of art. By describing thescience-philosophical context, Foqué extensively analyses the nature of design activity and the design process, its inherent characteristics, and the differences between science an...
The Social, Aesthetic, and Medical Implications of Performing Shame
Performing Shame shows how simulations of shame by North American writers and artists have the power to resist its withering influence. Chapter 1 analyses the projects’ key terms: shame, performance, and empathy. Chapter 2 probes the book’s key terms in light of a real-world study of an "empathy device" that aims to teach the public what it feels like to be disabled. Chapter 3 analyses how theatre intervenes in the practice of medicine via standardized patient actors who engage in role play to enhance medical students’ empathy for patients coping with shame. Chapter 4 moves from the clinic to the street to examine how The Raging Grannies’ public performances contest ageist constructi...
